Eze wondered why a President who claims to be popular, and to have won the 2023 presidential poll, is now afraid to allow the electronic transmission of election results.
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), has urged President Bola Tinubu to demonstrate courage by permitting the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to implement real-time electronic transmission of election results.
Eze wondered why a President who claims to be popular, and to have won the 2023 presidential poll, is now afraid to allow the electronic transmission of election results.
In a statement on Thursday, Eze reminded Tinubu and the Senate led by Godswill Akpabio that the conduct of 2027 general elections is sacrosanct.
“The 2027 poll is all about liberating Nigerians from the shackles of bad governance occasioned by obnoxious and anti people’s policies of the Tinubu-led APC administration.
“Even with the coercion of almost all the governors into the ruling party, Mr President has continued to lose sleep over the general election and is doing everything humanly possible to win the 2027 presidential election,” Eze said.
Meanwhile, Eze has commended Nigerians following the nationwide rejection and condemnation that trailed the Senate’s stance on electronic transmission of election results.
“Today, I am so happy that Nigerians are now ready to rescue our democracy and our country from those that feel they have occupied and conquered Nigeria,” he said.
He hailed Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers State and ex-Minister of Transportation, as well as erstwhile governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party 2023 presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi, and all Nigerians that mobilized to occupy the National Assembly.
“It is not about Tinubu choosing what he wants in terms of the conduct of the 2027 general elections, but what Nigerians want in ensuring a seamless, free and fair election.
“Anybody that is against the adoption of electronic transmission or transfer of election results real time in this modern day Nigeria, is an enemy of democracy.
“We cannot continue to recycle ignorance and mediocrity in the name of using archaic methods in conducting an election when technology can help us get it right, at least for once,” he added.
